LINCOLN- Governor Ricketts announced all indoor gatherings will be limited to 50% capacity starting Wednesday. Restaurants will also have to start enforcing rules such as all patrons must be seated, eight people maximum per table and more.

Rich Anderson began offering dine-in services at his restaurant, Trini's Mexican Restaurant in Omaha, starting at the end of June. He personally opened at half-capacity and has stuck with it since then. "I just kept it that way thinking that nobody really knows what's going on," he said. Anderson said his restaurant in the Old Market Passageway used to serve 17 tables. Now, he's only seating nine. "I thought all along we could go backwards at any time," he said. "And we're here."
